Note: Your device must be a 3G, 3Gs, and with a 4.0+ iOS.

1. After your administrator has purchased an Activesync license and assigned it to your email address, you'll want to log into your User Control Panel at the following URL: https://cp.rackspace.com/usercp

2. Once you're logged in, scroll down to the Client Setup section and click on the ActiveSync link. This will open the Setting Up ActiveSync window which will contain the information needed to set up your device.

3. Once you have your Setting Up ActiveSync window open, tap the Settings icon on the iPhone.

Domain - Enter the Domain address exactly as it is from the Setting Up ActiveSync window.

Username - Enter the User name exactly as it is from the Setting Up ActiveSync window. The User name is different from the email address.

7. The device will than continue verifying the account. Once complete, tap the Server field, and enter the Server address exactly as it is from the Setting Up ActiveSync window.

8. Tap the Next button and the device will then try to create a secure (SSL) connection to your Exchange server. If it cannot do this, it will try a non-SSL connection. If it asks for a confirmation, go ahead and tap Yes to continue.

You'll be able to customize how much data you would like to sync from the server.
